The Modern Age is one of information overload. Bombarded, surrounded, and battered by facts, figures, opinions and seemingly whatever else comes out of anyone’s head from all directions at all hours of the day and night. It’s exhausting. In the pens of such luminaries as Henry James, E M Delafield, C E Montague, Charlotte Perkins Gilman and many others we connect with old fashioned media from publishing and advertising to telegrams and radio and everything in between in ways that are surprising, enlightening but always entertaining.

Since its inception in the 19th Century photography has been a trusted source capturing both truth and reality. It cannot lie. Our eyes may deceive us, but the camera cannot. In this volume whilst our classic authors are at the early edge of photography’s development, they use it in ways that are both innovative and atmospheric as very often the camera and the photographer become a central part in many fascinating stories.

In this volume our classic authors conjure up all sorts of damnations and destructions in literary assaults testing our will to survive and our ingenuity to overcome situations where the outlook is bleak at best and the total extinction of us at worse.

In this volume our authors, including Ambrose Bierce, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Winifred Holtby, Bernard Capes and many others bring forth creations and contraptions that are both amazing and abstract as well as diabolical and delightful.

Die junge Musikerin Elizabeth kann es kaum fassen: Durch eine unerwartete Erbschaft nennt sie plötzlich ein schmuckes Anwesen samt Grundbesitz in Duncan's Hill ihr Eigen! Überglücklich kommt sie nach Texas, um ihr Erbe anzutreten und ein neues Leben zu beginnen. Doch die Koffer sind noch nicht einmal fertig ausgepackt, da läuft Elizabeth ausgerechnet ihrem Pächter, dem gut aussehenden Rancher Sam Carpenter, in die Arme. Jackpot! Denn der aufbrausende Sam ist schon aus Prinzip dagegen und außerdem gerade mal wieder auf hundertachtzig.

Männer machen nur Ärger, davon ist die junge Tierärztin Katherine fest überzeugt und geht schon aus Prinzip allen Vertretern dieser Spezies aus dem Weg. Herzklopfen, Liebe und überschäumende Hormone? Bloß nicht, vielen Dank! Beruflich hingegen würde sie gern voll durchstarten, doch das klappt bislang auch nicht wie erhofft: Ihr Boss macht ihr nichts als Ärger und ein besserer Job ist zunächst auch nicht in Sicht. Zu allem Überfluss begegnet sie auch noch diesem umwerfenden Fremden, der mit seinen heißen Blicken und ungestümen Küssen ihr Herz zum Ausflippen bringt und ganz nebenbei ihre Welt aus den Angeln hebt.
